In reply to Bernie minarik. I'm not certain. I imagine it can be pressure canned. Traditionally it would have been dried as a method of preservation.

I first learned about this from an Aleut native I fished with in Kodiak AK. He wrapped Skeins in foil, added butter salt, pepper and we ate them. To this day,30 years later. I keep all the skeins. They are best consumed fresh. I have tried freezing ,but the flavor changes. I boil them lightly to the consistency of soft boiled. Strain them, add salt pepper and butter and eat the whole bowl...excellent.
Sometimes I wrap them in Nori with brown rice and eat burrito style. I will have to try the afformentioned cold smoke-sounds delicious. It is true, they are addicting. If it`s a dark spawner, such as a chum, cut the eggs out and don`t use the fish-or bring the fish home and cook it for dogfood.

In reply to Hannah. Vital choice is the only place I'm aware of that offers it online. There was another company, several years ago, but they're now out of business. Roe is exceptionally difficult to separate and cure, hence its expense.

Would you be willing to share other sources that might not be as expensive? The prices at Vital Choices seem astronomical.

In reply to Kyan. Hi Kyan, Yes, I think so, though I haven't tried it.

Could you use trout roe in place of salmon roe in your Salted & Smoked Salmon Roe recipe?

I have the opportunity to purchase fresh (frozen) salmon roe, but I'm a little unsure how much to order. Can you give me an estimate of the volume of 1 lb of roe? What's a typical serving size? I've only ever had tiny amounts on sushi. =)
